Abstract
A message transfer system between digital modules where two or more digital modules operate on separate and different message lengths and clock frequencies and where, temporary storage buffer (translator unit) holds messages being transferred between the different digital modules and acts as a speed matching and word length matching buffer unit to permit compatible transfer of message words. Also, the transfer system recognizes when requests are outstanding from both digital modules and can discard a message from a requesting module. Each of the two or more separate digital modules is serviced by dual system busses providing for redundancy of data transfer operations.
